Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Worktop repair in Haughton without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Whether it’s a damaged sink edge and burns from hot pans, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about worktop repair in Haughton
Do you come to Haughton?
We do. We send a technician to Haughton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

When a repair isn’t the answer

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Haughton
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
